BBCode opens new windows for URLs

Does BBCode by default open a new window for links?

No.

Opening a new window for links is a matter of the browser. Websites should not overrule the visitors preference.

I'm not sure if it is a browser setting, though. I inserted links using html and BBCode, and the html ones stay in the parent window, but the BBCode ones open new windows.

Hi!

Oh my god. You are right. I'm terribly sorry for sounding so rude, and also being wrong with my statement.

The bbcode plugin does in fact add a 'target=_blank' attribute. I just patched the plugin so that this behaviour is now configurable. Please get the latest version of that plugin file here:

No worries. Thanks for all of your help.

I'm so accustomed to Spartacus, I'm not sure how to update a plugin by hand. I uploaded the serendipity_event_bbcode.php and the lang_en.inc.php files to the serendipity_event_bbcode, but I'm not sure what to do next to get the system to recognize them and give me the radio or checkbox to change the option for the target.

Hi!

Usually if you overwrite the existing files with the ones you downloaded from the CVS link I gave you, it should already be recognized by the system!

Best regards,

Make sure you overwrite all the files from the plugin. More may have changed than just the .php file.

Incidentally, I'm please to meet another person dedicated to preserving the use of "accustomed" in the English language.

So I need to update all of the foreign language files? They all had modification dates much older than the two files I updated.

Also, is it possible to download the entire plugin at once instead of file by file on the berliOS site?

Hi!

If you have a CVS/SVN clientl, you could do that.

Else, the spartaucs site usually bundles that. But since my server is down, it doesn't. I hope it will be functioning again at the end of next week.

I think I figured out the download thing. But I updated all of the files and it still isn't showing the option for target.

Maybe because I'm still on version 1.0? We're waiting to upgrade to 1.1 until it's the recommended release.

Hi!

There sadly was a spelling error in that file. Since currently I am developing "blind" without my dev-server, I didn'T notice that. At the SVN location you should find the updated file.
